For starters the staff was excellent. Super friendly and helpful without hovering. I would come back for the service alone. The atmosphere was BBQ so for a BBQ place that works! The wing were good but I am not sure how fresh they were which I found interesting on a wing night. I have seen other reviews suggest they are unseasoned but mine were well seasoned. They had a chew to them that felt off to me for smoked wings but it wouldn't stop me from going back. I was trying to keep it light sonI also had the green beans and they were good. Overall it was a good experience and I would definitely go back and give the wings another try.

The brisket was tender, smoky, and packed with flavor--exactly what you want from good BBQ. The bread was simple and classic, nothing fancy, but it did its job just fine. We tried the coconut cream nut cake with lemon icing (don't quote me on the name). It was outstanding. I'd go back just for the cake! It wasn't on the menu, but it was on display in the window. The atmosphere is part of what makes Eli's special. It's a fun, laid-back setup with an outdoor walk-up window that gives it a casual, backyard vibe. You can tell it's a family-run place, and that homey, genuine energy really comes through.

I hate saying anything negative about a small business but this one was so disappointing. I had it…read moreon my list to visit for a couple of years now, looking forward to tasting some good home southern BBQ. I first checked their Google page and menu to be sure what I wanted to get. But when I got there the prices were drastically higher. I had planned on the brisket plate but once there I was told it was $31 and there was no way I was paying that for BBQ for one person. Google had it listed for $18. Next was the ribs but that was $17 for 6 bones no sides. So I decided to go with a classic pulled pork sandwich which came with one side. Their recommendation was Mac n cheese so I went with that. Usually I love Baked Beans but with it being my first time I wanted to taste what people rave about. The man who took my order, not sure if he was the owner or not was very nice and accommodating. And I did mention the google discrepancy. Now here is where the one star comes in and this pains me because I hate giving 1star reviews especially in this case but the pulled pork had no flavor, the bbq sauce wasn't good, the Mac n cheese also not great. All was extremely subpar from a place that should specialize in BBQ then throw in the high prices there was nothing worth giving a better rating. Even with the Mac n cheese you could throw some small bits of brisket or ribs in it to give it that Smokey bbq flavor similar to how Sonny's has bits of meat in their baked beans. Truthfully I have never had BBQ that I didn't like until today. Usually there is good BBQ and great BBQ but sadly I've had better BBQ at Thanksgiving with Joe and his smoker. I was the only one there at 7pm on a Saturday but it's also not a restaurant so that could be why. I am confused about the good reviews and wonder if it's just locals hyping it up out of support. But for me, I've been writing fair, honest reviews for 15 years so if I write one it's going to be real. If this review helps you, great And if you are somebody who loves Reels BBQ then that's amazing and hope you continue to support this small business and they stay successful. Sadly for me it was a one and done

He is the only waiter I remember having more than twice on Main Street which is really cool. I give props to the owners for this. The food is really good. The location is great. I gave it 4 stars out of 5 because they really need to add a few items. Like pulled chicken, Mac and cheese and Cole slaw. Also 4 potato wedges as a side is kinda ridiculous. Aside from that, all good. It's nice to have smoked meat back in the harbor.

To my surprise I rolled up in my golf cart and the patio was packed! My son and I got a table out back and ordered a few things. We ended up sharing a 3 meat platter with pulled pork, chicken and sausage. All 3 were amazing. The sides we chose were the beans and potato wedges which were perfectly crispy and delicious. I was super impressed that on day 1 of a soft opening that everything came out great, service was good and everyone around seemed happy. I only can imagine after they get their groove on a bit that this place will get better and better over time. Our server Ted was amazing and was very attentive and busy! Inside they ended up replacing the old bar that was in there in favor of an along the wall style with plenty of chairs. Additionally I would think eventually they will have some inside tables as well. Restaurant wasn't all the way together yet but I'm not going to fault them for anything as it was a soft opening. All in all this is a 5 star review for a much needed BBQ place that also has a hint of BBQ places that were in the Harbor before and can't wait to see how this place does! Thank you United Smokehouse!

Our server…read moresat us quickly, checked in often, kept our drinks refilled, and the food came out SO quickly. Another staff member (manager perhaps?) stopped by to check in on us too. We took full advantage of the $5 happy hour menu and ordered the happy hr sliders, wings, and fried green tomatoes, along with a couple menu items. The Ahi Tuna Flatbread was light, fresh, and packed with flavor. It was topped with spicy chili aioli, avocado, tomatoes, red onions, and pickled peppers on warm grilled flatbread. Would order this again. The Ultimate Brussel was a nice standout. Crispy brussel sprout halves tossed in a white balsamic vinaigrette with pork belly "croutons," thin slivers of Granny Smith apple, and creamy Gorgonzola crumbles. Every bite had the perfect balance of sweet, savory, tangy, and crunchy. My fork had a mind of its own and kept going back for more. Easy street parking, tons of TVs, one TV had trivia playing which you can join by downloading an app. We were choosing between a few spots, but Brinehouse's Thursday Beer, Bourbon & BBQ & also a Happy Hour (3-6 p.m.) with $5 bites made the choice easy (for me!). My Golden Hour Lychee White Sangria was refreshing and the perfect happy hour drink for a sweltering July afternoon In the end, our group of 5 were happy with our choice & would happily recommend it.
